Can I Schedule the Subject 1 Exam During National Day?
2 Answers
You can schedule the Subject 1 exam during National Day, but the exam cannot be taken during the holiday. National Day is a statutory holiday as stipulated by the state, and staff at driving schools and vehicle management offices will enjoy their holiday in accordance with labor laws. Therefore, the Subject 1 exam should be scheduled outside of statutory holidays. Scheduling Requirements: According to the Subject 1 scheduling rules, for first-time applicants of driving licenses for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, a waiting period of 10 days after obtaining the learning driving permit is required before scheduling. For applicants upgrading to large passenger cars, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger cars, or large trucks, a waiting period of 20 days after obtaining the learning driving permit is required before scheduling the exam. Scheduling Time: Staff at driving test centers are official police officers who generally follow national statutory holidays, so driving test centers are usually closed on weekends. Without staff on duty, the Subject 1 exam cannot be conducted.
As a young guy who just got my driver's license, I remember during last year's National Day holiday, I really wanted to schedule my Subject 1 test. I checked online info and asked friends, but everyone said holidays won't work - most DMVs are closed during holidays, and the booking systems are mostly shut down. Usually, you have to wait until the first workday after the holiday to schedule. Back then, I managed to book a slot in September weeks in advance to take the test. My advice is don't waste time and opportunities by trying to schedule during holidays. Although Subject 1 is relatively easy, you should practice more with APP question banks or study materials before the test. Use the National Day holiday to review key points thoroughly to avoid being flustered during the exam. Planning your time well is crucial - don't procrastinate too long like I did initially, as it can delay your overall learning progress.
